Professor Martin Lindauer, of the University of Munich, one of the world's outstanding authorities on the behavior of bees, will give the first of three Prather Lectures in Biology this afternoon at 5 p.m. in Allston Burr Lecture Hall. His topic will be "Forms of Communication in the Social Bees...
...problem is not so easy to solve as the statistics imply. "What we're really bickering about is a few intelligence points which don't really make much difference," Thomas F. Pettigrew, Assistant Professor of Social Psychology, points out. Almost all students at the two colleges are on the same high plane of scholastic ability, and each sex seems to have a particular arete in some field...

Evidence from different fields seems to indicate just the opposite, however. Pettigrew notes that girls in his course, Soc. Rel. 134, which concerns modern social problems such as integration, are more willing to take an "adventurous stand" than their Harvard colleagues. This might well be true, he says, because girls will never have to take the responsibility for their radical opinions after college. Nevertheless, the girls' approach toward the course, "irresponsible" or not, does lead to top grades. Each year...

Proportionally, over 50 per cent of Radcliffe graduates doing additional work enter the GSAS. However, the overwhelming majority of Harvard students continuing in graduate studies enter professional schools, such as Law or Medicine...
